Y5 LQ: How do I use repeat loops and routines?

  • We will be creating “routines” (groups of instructions). These are usually given names and then can be used in other programs later.
  • Check that you understand repeat-end loops and how to write them. (eg repeat 4 forward 30 right 90 end). Repeat-end loops are like a sandwich with instructions to repeat in the middle.
  • Log in to Crystal Rainforest (using name from last week if it lets them!)
  • Change settings: “Adventure mode”, adjust volume, level 2. Click ok
  • Click “Start” then ” adventure mode”.
  • Start on number 23

Success steps:

  • understand repeat-end loops
  • understand a routine is a set of instructions (often given a name)
  • be resilient
  • test instructions (even if not complete)
  • use trial and improvement
  • ** 360 degrees is a whole turn
  • ** 360 can be divided into smaller turns (factors of 360)
